Using the edge weight tool will reveal the "unwelded" vertex normals once again, because you are unsmoothing them. Smoothing a mesh doesn't actually get rid of those funky vertices. It just hides them. But there are some other commands where it might cause a problem, such as any tool which reads the vertex normal directions (thicken, push, sculpting, etc). So it's better to fix it properly in the way I've described in the last post...
